'No Patterns Needed' contains instructions for fifteen modern designs inspired by the simplest geometric shapes; rectangles, circles and triangles. Click on the images below to explore the inspiration behind the shape-based designs.

"No Patterns Needed is an action-based book that can be dipped into project-by-project in bite-sized chunks. The ethos behind it is; learn through doing. And, as the title suggests, all the tutorials show you how to make clothes without sewing patterns, based on simple body measurements or on existing items in your wardrobe."

"No Patterns Needed is about reclaiming our simplest, geometric shapes and shouting out loud, "These shapes will not restrict us, they will give us freedom! We will wear what we want and we will make it ourselves!""
